I enjoyed the security I had when IE prompted me as to
what I wanted to do everytime I clicked a file download
link. I hit the wrong check box, the remember my
preference one, and now, when I download a file, *.wav for
example, it doesn't prompt me anymore, and just initiates
a download. Anyone now how I can get that dialog box
back ?
 
You set this for each file type, e.g. for .zip
Explorer-View-Folder Options-File Types
Find the .zip association (may be WinZip File)
Edit, (or click Advanced on ME or XP) and check the "Confirm open
after download" box

The path to Folder Options may vary according to your operating
system. It may be:
Explorer-View-Folder Options
Explorer-Tools-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Folder Options
Start-Settings-Control Panel-Folder options.
